Djetou at Palace

Martin Djetou today started a trial at Crystal Palace after failing to impress at Southampton.

The 31-year-old former Parma player is a free agent after a long-running contract dispute with the Italian club and wants to return to the Premiership. Djetou, who was once valued at £10million, made 51 league appearances in two seasons on loan at Fulham from 2002 and can play in defence or midfield.

Palace manager Iain Dowie is looking to bring in three players during January and started to put Djetou to the test during training this morning.
